GRAPHIC DESIGNER AT NIGHT, GRAFFITI ARTIST DURING TH DAY!
(his tag! V)

LEE is an artist living his best of both worlds - working professionally at night and scouting the area by day, looking for a new place for a fine piece..... his genius inventions allow him to paint with transparent spray paints while the sun is still up, just for them to light up when it's dark, making the scary, pitch black alleys turn into artistic tunnels of light. this whole scheme makes him confident in not ever being caught red handed, after all, the authorities can't see a thing when he's working (hence the goggles on his head - the only way to see his paints in the daylight)... but they've actually known the vandal's identity for a while now and don't seem to rush in hunting him down. don't tell him that though, or he'll lose his rebellious spirit.

THE WHOLE TOWN'S HELPING HAND AND THE BRIGHTEST STAR!
(HER SIGNATURE BAG! V)

mandie is the type of gal that everyone in the neighborhood knows like their own. famous for her ambitious and hardworking spirit, yet every month or so she decides to switch it up and finds herself a new profession. in her free time, she's usually out in the streets - either chatting with one of her many acquaintances, as a true social butterfly she is, or helping out those who are yet to become ones. when she's not out in the wild, she's probably at home, working on her new, avant-garde creation of an attire. it's rare to walk around the town and not spot her vivid outfits in the crowd at least once..!!!!! ☆⌒(ゝڡ∂)

A LOST "STAR" RETURNING HOME AFTER A DRASTIC FALLOUT
(HER BASS GUITAR! V)

mara is a skilled musician, her skills ranging from various stringed instruments to vocal performances, even taking pride in writing her own lyrics. her talent was recognized by her previous band, a well known v-kei group performing all around the world. yet, after months of disputes with the group leader, she's decided to let go of her career as a star and follow her brother's steps, coming back to their childhood town. having reconciled with her old friends, they've decided to revive their then amateur band called V-AMPS, where a bunch of restless souls with instruments in hands could let go of their daily lives and perform for the local fans. although the group's comeback received positive feedback, it was still just an afternoon gig from time to time, as the rest of the squad had their daytime jobs to handle. now, with a little help from her brother and his lively roommate, she's trying her best to find her place in a town full of opportunities.

A COFFEE LOVER, YET A TEAHOUSE WORKER…
AND A DRUMMER BY NIGHT!
(HIS DRUM (SET)! V)

West is a rather small guy with great hopes of releasing all of his anger accumulated over the years in a simple form of playing the drums in an amateur band called V-AMPS. you might think that's a lot to ask, but he's actually been doing great ever since mara came back to town with the idea of resurrecting their old gig! he's an orphan (which is not that uncommon btw) that spent most of his time on the streets, after continuously sneaking out from the orphanage, where he met his fox pretend-dad, who took him under his wind as an errand boy for.. well, basically anyone who wanted to pay the price. now, ever since a messy breakup with his found family (see the pattern here?), he's been living with and working in a deer-owned teahouse, where he's constantly trying to push his coffee propaganda into work. and when he doesn't get his way... at least you know where he's going to beat out his defeat!

A RAY OF SUNSHINE~!
and a little bit of clumsiness combined with infinite luck…
(HIS FAV CAP! V)

Ray is a happy-go-lucky mechanic, with two left hands and a favorite wrench to fix everything he broke in the process of repair. Living his whole life on the outskirts of the city, he's excited to experience every tiny bit of his adult life with the ability to drive into town at any moment he wants. He's also a local legend, all due to his tail being cut in half when he was younger. That was his first and last visit in the city as a kid and he doesn't seem to remember the exact way it happened, but that makes the story even more useful for all the parents warning their kids about watching their tails... He believes that this event gave him the luck he carries to this day. "an eye for an eye kind of exchange with the universe~!". Now, whenever he messes something up, in some supernatural way, he'll be able to fix the damage and make it two times better than before. at the moment, he's also working part-time as a bartender in VOXHOLE, the very bar in which V-amps play their gigs. He'll get all flustered and avoid the topic when you ask him why he chose this job, but some seem to have noticed he must've taken interest in a certain V-AMPS member...

MARCY'S GUIDE TO MERCHMAKING INSANITY!

WAIT....... before you proceed...... consider buying me a HOT DAWG on ko-fi for all the info dump and effort i put into this... it's not necessary..... but i would really appreciate it (i love hot DAWGS)(i'm sharing my years of constant insanity and research knowledge with you guys btw)

another disclaimer, there's two sides of it all - what I've begun with and what i work with now. as you can probably imagine, my current setup is not quite as begginer friendly (mostly due to the costs of these machines) but it definitely brings in the better quality and more ease in production! However, here you can check out the archival (from arounduhhhhh 2023/2024) - perfect for starting out - recources page~!

CANON imagePROGRAF PRO-1000

- expensiveeee....... but worth every penny!!!!!!!!
- has 12 different ink colors which is INSANEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! but also very. very expensive help.
- prints like. 1:1 what it looks like on the screen!!! full on rgb printing like WHAT!!!!
- pigment inks so your prints not only look absolutely etheral but also they're much more uv resistant than regular dye ones!!!!
- i dont think it was made with matte paper in mind so. i switched up to a pro photographic paper just for her and im never looking back!!!!!!
- my most precious machine yet... never had any problems with her, very intuitive, very easy to set up and work with, the best printer everrrr!!!!
- can print in a2 which is pretty handy when making signs or irregular formats
- one and only con i could find which in the end isn't really a con is that the pigment prints absolutely hate hot laminate. they will not get along so i had to switch to cold laminate and they love each other IT WORKS SO GREAT!!!!!!!!

SISER JULIET

- a real treasure in the world of shitty cutting machines <3 like cricut or silhouette 5 fawk them cutters
- also a bit more on the expensive side and it may be hard to get as a non-registered business but it's definitely worth a try!!!!
- very unproblematic, cuts fast, precisely and its not that loud!!!
- support is actually really helpful and responds fast and if thats not enough there are fb groups with sooo many helpful people it's so refreshing
- very fresh info!!!! but it turns out its absolutely required to clean the rollers once in a while to avoid any cut drifts!!! i've had this issue (the drift wasn't that bad but it still bothered me) and i've started cleaning them before every cutting session and haven't had the problem since :D
- another only con i could find is that it tends to bend the cutting mats after a while... i mean the cutting mat is definitely a part that wears out and needs to be replaced from time to time but it's best to find some cheap alternatives (it does really well with any other mats so it's fine) and replace them more frequently!!!

MANUAL ROLL LAMINATOR 635MM

- when i tell you this is the most fun knob style machinery ever. i feel like gutenberg everytime i use it fr fr
- absolutely changed my view on cold lamination !!!!! when i tell you how ASS i was at cold laminating by hand.... and then this masterpiece popped up.... now i can't remember the last time my lamination had that ugly ass crease !!!!!! everything comes out PERFECT!!!!
- the 635mm one is the smallest one from what i've seen and it still fits 3 a4 pages at once so i think thats a massive win
- the brand doesnt matter its the most caveman machinery known to a man dw
- i tend to pass the things i laminate twice just in case!!!
- really heavy.... everytime i wake up and i thank the universe that the floor in my room hasn't caved in below all of this bs right beside my bed

FELLOWES SATURN 3I A4

- used less frequently by me ever since i got the roller laminator but it works great anyways!!!!
- i've had an issue with it where it was working really loud like you could hear the rollers inside grinding on each other and it was. really unpleasant so i sent it back to the service and described the issue and they sent it back and told me to read the instructions next time cause i clearly haven't done that??? and i was like ???? i've read it like five times trying to deduce wtf was wrong with it what are you talking about.
- its been a few months and it kinda got back to making that noise but really quietly so i'm sensing a storm coming but yeahh idrc i only use it for the freebies and fans so. whatever
- dunno if i recommend this very specific one i think that most of the hot laminators are pretty much the same, there's no reason to get any kind of an expensive one

FISKARS TRIMMER PROCISION

- VERY GOOD I LIKE IT VERY MUCH but i think i might be the problem in this relationship sorry
- it was advertised to me as the self-sharpening trimmer and it sure does self sharpen while cutting all the stuff buuuuuuut its good to clean it from time to time (duh) cuz the glue residue from stickers makes the cuts look a bit torn
- also i think mine has the blade slightly off?? like its not 100% perfectly straight??? i dunno if this is a manufacturing defect but i've learned to live with it and i kinda love it idc
- its very comfortable to cut stuff as long as you have good lighting aaand its very light and it doesn't take up that much space it's really cool!!!!!
- it can cut likeeeeeeeee 10x 80gsm pages at once? kinda powerful for a horizontal cutter if you ask me

VEVOR BUTTON MACHINE

- ok this is one of the not so many good vevor investments so you better take notes
- heavy as fawwkkkkkk!!!!!!!!! what did they feed this man!!!!!!!
- its some kind of metal so yeah. it won't break as opposed to those plastic ones
- it has (and it actually comes with one) replacable molds (only circular ones for now as far as i'm aware) so it's cool if you wanna make different sizes like 58mm and 32mm pins lets say
- workt great with both plastic and metal pin backs!!
- my hand surprisingly doesn't hurt when making badges on this one so i really recommend cuz i've had history with the plastic ones making my hands unusable for a day before a con! xoxo

opus corner cutter

- suuuper duper cool gadget for when you round the corners of all of your prints and sticker sheets ever
- kinda expensive compared to all the handheld or mini corner cutters but ermmmm this one doesn't actually start tweaking when i try to cut corners of more than 5 prints one after another!!!!
- it has a crazy range extension so i can literally round the corners of like. 50+ prints at once and actually do it evenly its so good
- makes no mess!!!! no more microscopic paper scraps in your room!!!!
- the calibration was kinda tricky for me but i'd say its absolutely worth the struggle, the corners are so pretty tehee

OTHER FUN STUFF:

★ i use alibaba to order my keychains!!!!! its great bc it's cheaper and the manufacturers are really nice to talk to and you can make sure that your order is 100% just like how you wanted it to be!! as opposed to many.... fast fashion style..... manufacturer sites... cough wooacry or vograce cough (please never give up on using your brain instead of going the easiest path possible pretty please)
★ i use pro photographic luster/pear paper for all of my prints! the gsm's vary but it's usually something around 200gms
★ for anything sticker related i go with self-adhesive vinyl for inkjet printers!!! you can find the most popular ones on amazon, sadly
★ i laminate stuff with the generic economic 641 oracal foil!

if you've got any further questions orrrr you'd like some help with any of the production machinery that you own...... feel free to dm me on instagram!!!! i'd love to help!!!! and i'd love to contribute to training an army of artists that are also merchmakers!!!!! go, my scarabs, make the best quality stickers for sale AS POSSIBLEEEEE!!!!!!!ONCE AGAIN hope this helps and if it does pls consider sharing this with others ooooor BUYING ME A HOT DAWG!!!!!! HELL YEAH

this is the archival resources page, i didn't edit anything so everything you'll read in here is coming from 2023/2024 me!!!! many things have changes so!!! continue at your own riskkkk!!!!!if you wanna get to know my current setup consider going back !!!

CANON PIXMA IX6850

- can print in A3 YIPPEE
- medium difficulty in getting along with her (getting her to work properly and stuff)
- reeeeeally easy to get cheaper ink replacements online
- sometimes i need to hold her hand when printing (she can't catch the paper properly so i need to push it a little before it starts printing)
- she's very cool i like her a lot

SILHOUETTE CAMEO 4

- made me cry several times
- EXPENSIVE ?
- totally worth it though
- saves me sooooooooooo many hours of cutting stickers
- does it really nicely you just gotta get used to it
- remember to always cut with registration marks AND good lighting
- needs a fan to work properly. like i literally have a small travel fan and just put it on the side with the arrows so that it doesn't overheat (bc when it does it acts CRAZY)(which is normal actually)

AMAZON BASICS LAMINATOR

- i think i might've spent a little too much time inhaling whatever this guy farts with
- warm and nice :]
- likes to kill innocent sticker sheets
- you gotta find your own way of putting stuff into it... i can't even explain it well but i think its good to give him more time to heat up rather than listening to the instructions? sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't and i think it's fine :]
- so much blood on his hands oh my god (wrinkles like 30% of what im trying to laminate)

FISKARS TRIMMER

- the coolest guy around
- ALSO A BIT EXPENSIVE? but worth it
- print got an ugly white border? CUT THAT SHIT UP
- sticker sheet needs to be cut out? CUT THAT SHIT UP
- a5 prints? you mean two prints on one a4 sheet? CUT THAT SHIT APART
- i love this guy can you believe he can cut literally the smallest lines. very accurately. wow

VEVOR BADGE MACHINE

- I HATE HER GUTS
- it will break. she's got like 4 months of regular usage lifespan
- you gotta put A LOT OF STRENGTH to actually make a badge remember that (i got into a fight with one seller cuz i thought he sent me a defective machine and he told me a twig like me can't even press a button machine correctly. tch) that was funny
- if it doesn't break then it's just gonna stop working correctly. you won't know the reason. no, you can't fix it. she's dead
- it's still cheaper than ordering custom pins so go for it

OTHER FUN STUFF:

★ matte photographic paper around 220g/m2 for prints
★ matte self adhesive photographic paper around 115g/m2 for stickers
★ glossy laminating pockets uhhh i dont remember the scale but i got 75 of that shit on both sides
★ random plastic badge materials from aliexpress (they change every three months)(i always pray)
★ i order my keychains from alibaba and NO i will not give you the link DO YOU THINK I WANT MY MANU TO CHEAT ON ME...?!!? LEAVE ME ALONE (just go on alibaba and search custom acrylic keychains please. don't be that lazy)(or use vograce it's the same thing)
